Reply to comment by A_Man_Who_Writes in The newest /r/massachusetts mod is a META/Facebook employee and seems a little unhinged. This seems like an issue, no? by TheCozierDaemon
Was it the Putin/ICC thread? I got banned too, I stated it was irrelevant.
I also argued with the mod for a little bit in the comments (you know, since it was wrong to delete comments that weren’t offensive or rule breaking) and I got called a Russian troll and banned.
I did not say a single thing that was against Ukraine whatsoever, I am very much in support of them and even expressed that in my comments claiming the post was irrelevant.

Nah it was a thread having to do with an Asian family moving to a town in MA and they were asking how they would be received. A legit question that the mod perceived as completely racist. Like, they said that even mentioning racial differences in any shape or form is racist and should not be tolerated. The only person in the thread who didn’t get banned was someone who made a comment shitting on everyone else in the thread for being racist. The mod banned us all, copied and pasted the same reasoning.
A couple days later I get a message from another mod apologizing for this “over-zealous” mod. I responded that I simply wanted my ban to be rescinded. But I guess I’m not allowed to message the mods for like 28 days following the ban. I’m annoyed because I spend the most time on the MA sub.

Yeah, I got banned from sending in a mod message asking why comments were being deleted on that thread too.

No way. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you say and what was the ban message?
God forbid you simply ask why comments are deleted. This whole situation is crazy.

Thank you for sharing it. You’re 100% right with everything you said. I also like how Linux-is-best gave you the same ban message that I and everyone else got even though it was kind of a different situation and then just copy and pasted it in response to your follow up question too. This guy only knows Crtl+V.
